Hi,
So you provide the name of the student whose work may have been plagiarised
(who may or may not have anything to do with it) because it is in
*your* legitimate interests to save time and administrative burden.
Have you considered asking that student for permission, even asking him
about it at all? Surely all you have to do is provide a copy of the work
you think has been plagiarised, who wrote it is not relevant, unless you
want to prove the first student guilty too of helping his friend etc etc
etc.
Crystal clear to me. It is Friday yet again.
Regards
Charles

Even clearer than that, Charles. The student whose work has allegedly been
plagiarised has not given any form of permission (we presume) for his/her
data to be passed to anyone for this purpose. Ergo it is unfair processing.
